Counseling for couples - What are the options with Dustin Ellis, LMFT
In this episode, I'm talking with Dustin Ellis, LMFT the options that couples have for counseling. "Traditional" couples counseling focuses on repair and enrichment. But often, couples need help with other issues: one person may be thinking about or may have decided to end the relationship, separated parents may need help co-parenting, the couple may be experiencing step family struggles. And these are just a a few. Dustin and I discuss how we determine what path to take with the couple. We also discuss a few times when couples therapy could do more harm than good.
Dustin uses Emotionally Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems to reveal and address patterns of communication and behaviors that perpetuate relational conflicts. Using this approach, Dustin’s work includes:
- Couples Counseling: Understanding negative communication patterns, conflict resolution, co-dependency, affair recovery, pre-marital counseling, parenting skills/strategies, parenting a child on the autism spectrum or with ADHD
- Men: Work-life balance, relationship skills, stress management, career/leadership development, motivation, perfectionism, boundaries, assertiveness, pornography, retirement, trauma, anger issues & grief.
- Adult ADHD & Autism: Navigating workplace and personal relationships, stage of life changes, anxiety
- Life Transitions and Athletic Performance: Development of novel coping skills in response to emerging needs, stress management specifically in response to performance pressure and external expectations
